The percentage of students of Nagpur Division scoring 90% and above marks in SSC examination is lowest in State. Shockingly, the Division failed to cross even 2% mark in this regard. Only 2,763 students in Nagpur division could score 90% and above. Latur Divisional Board has topped the table with 7.532 per cent students scoring 90% and above. The Board has 7,228 such students. Latur topped percentage wise but if the criterion of the number of students is applied, Mumbai is at the top of table with 11,785 students, followed by Pune at 11,441 students. If percentage wise score is considered, Mumbai comes 8th, just above Nagpur, which has hit rock bottom this year. Kolhapur Board follows Latur, which is at the top in per centage wise.

 

 

Kolhapur’s 8,559 students scored 90% and above marks and its per centage is 6.831. The other Boards follow include Aurangabad with 9,748 students (5.868%), Konkan with 1,471 (5.306%), Pune with 11,441 (4.533%), Amravati with 6,167 (4.191%), Nashik with 7,416 (4.132%), Mumbai with 11,785 (3.636%) and Nagpur. Several school directors, principals in Nagpur expressed surprise over this particular outcome. They feel something fishy in the result as according to them how come only Nagpur division is be low as far as percentage of students scoring 90% and above marks is concerned. But there is a reason for this low scoring per centage as Nagpur Divisional Board hit rock bottom in entire Maharashtra as its 92.05% students passed SSC. Secondly, the most valid point in this entire statistics is of number of students and not theper centage of number of students scoring 90% and above.

 

It is number of students matter in the admission process. For example, Konkan topped in overall result in Maharashtra and its per centage of students scoring 90% is also good. But it is at the bottom in that statistics as only 1,471 students could score high marks. With Nagpur is ahead of Konkan, its more number of students are likely to occupy seats in further education.
